lash bulbs go off as 184 smiling faces peer out from under royal blue caps. Their image captured to hang with the grad classes before them in the halls of Vernon Secondary School.

The man behind the camera taking the traditional photo on the steps of the courthouse for 36 years, former VSS teacher Wayne Emde, thinks back on all the years, remembering that it has never rained or been cancelled.

The students seem to value the iconic event and the mood at the courthouse buzzes with excitement.

“I remember looking at the pictures in the school and my dad having a big afro and just trying to figure out which one he was and he’s like ‘I’m the one with the big hair’, said Valentina Correale “It’s awesome. I remember looking at my mom’s picture except they didn’t have the gowns on,” said Ashley Willmott.

The class of 2013 is also starting a new tradition as the first class to graduate in the new school.

“I’m glad that we get to be that grad class because it is going to be there for so long and it’s starting a new tradition with a new picture outside of the school,” said Amanda Vallance When Richard Meaney was asked if he felt disappointed that he only got half a year in the new school, he said he didn’t but he just wished he could have kept his locker from the old school.

Hearings provide first step in healing richard rolke

J

Morning Star Staff

ohn Pierre was a child when life with his parents and siblings splintered. It was never restored.

“We’ve never come together as a family,” he said of the lasting influence of the Indian residential school he attended in the 1950s.

“Inside, I’m still crying. I’m still a child.”

Raw emotion was evident as former students shared their experiences at the federal Truth and Reconciliation hearings in Kamloops Wednesday.

“It was such a lonely time,” said Mary Percival of being taken away from her parents at age seven.

“I cried for my mom and dad to tuck me in at night. It was very heart-wrenching. My mother became an alcoholic after we were removed.”

Peter Alec was three years old in 1964.

“I wanted my mom and dad to come and get me but they never did,” he said.

“I felt so empty because I lost so much. I never bonded with my mom and dad. I had no feelings when my mom and dad passed away because I didn’t know them.”

For many of those parents, they knew what awaited their children in residential school as they had also been forced into those classes long before.

“My mother told me to do as I was told and I wouldn’t get into trouble. I did as I was told and we know what happened,” said one woman.

Sexual abuse was a constant thread among many of the survivors. It was at the hands of teachers, clergy or other students.

In one case, a woman recounted how she was initially strapped by a nun for wetting her bed.

“And then she did things she wasn’t supposed to. She started touching me.”

Punishment was severe for speaking traditional languages although many didn’t know English. Speaking out of turn brought the strap.

Food was often in short supply and even worse quality. Education was often limited to religion.

Self-worth evaporated.

“I was ashamed to be an Indian. I thought, ‘How do you change the colour of your skin?’” said a woman who is now 58 years old.

Eventually, the students reached a certain age and left school, but the trauma remained, particularly when they began to have their own families.

“The way I was treated at residential school was the way I treated my kids. I physically abused them. They got in the way of

Singers and drummers perform during the Truth and Reconciliation hearing at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School (below) Wednesday.

“It made me realize I have a heart. I’m not a tin person,” said Leona McKay. “I have to learn to get over the anger and fears and to be the difference I want to see in the world. It’s time to stop depending on others to make us better. We have to help ourselves.”

Questions still remain as to how governments and churches allowed injustice to occur to children. For some, bonds with religion are broken forever.

But for Alanna Manuel, responsibility must run deeper.

“All of the rest of Canada did not protest for our human rights. No one said, ‘Don’t abuse those children.’ Canada needs to take ownership,” she said.

my drinking. I didn’t want the responsibility,” said one woman.

For many, being separated from their own parents at a young age left them with few examples to draw on as they raised children.

“I never told them I loved them and I couldn’t hug them. We were like army sergeants to our kids,” said a mother of five.

“That’s the way we were taught to be. I will be sorry for the rest of my life.”

And that cycle engulfed the next generation.

“I saw my son screaming at his kids and I told him to stop. He said, ‘Why, you did that to me?’”

For another woman, her experiences warped her relationships with men.

“If I was beaten, if I was molested, it was normal to me,” she said.

But as the survivors spoke Wednesday, most were surrounded by spouses and children. The arrival of grandchildren was often the turning point to a brighter future.

to provide transformation,” said Seaton.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission is travelling across the country to learn about what happened at residential schools and to inform all Canadians about the legacy of those institutions.

“I have heard that people will never forget, but we have to stop walking into our future backwards,” said Murray Sinclair, commission chairperson.

“The country must understand that its sense of self must have balance with our sense of self.”

The commission will ultimately file a final report, but Sinclair believes that’s only the beginning of the process. He urged everyone in the Tk’emlups Indian Band hall to remain involved.

“You are the ones who will have to pick up the challenge of reconciliation.

Reconciliation is about healing and coming to terms with what has happened and to move forward,” he said.

Young granted conditional parole roger knox Morning Star Staff

A Falkland woman who, in 2002, shot and killed her husband and tried to kill his friend has been granted full parole.

The Parole Board of Canada granted full parole to Darlene Alice Young, 49, on May 7, stating she is “at low risk to reoffend,” but the full parole comes with four special conditions.

In a three-page report, the parole board noted that Young’s husband, Skip Payton and a friend arrived at Payton’s residence on March 29, 2002 and found Young sitting at the kitchen table with a shotgun next to her.

As the friend tried to call police, Young shot Payton at pointblank range, killing him instantly. She fired a second shot at the friend and hit him in the buttocks. The friend pre-

tended to be dead.

Young was located by police later in the day at the home of an exboyfriend and was taken into custody in the early hours of March 30, 2002 after several hours of negotiations.

Young had no previous charges or convictions but police reports indicate her marriage to Payton was “volatile,” as police attended their home on five occasions between 2001 and 2002.

On two occasions, they seized weapons, and Young had previously fired gunshots in the house and outside in Payton’s direction.

Young received a life sentence for second degree murder and attempted murder, and was released on day parole in September 2011 with special conditions.

A psychological assessment of Young

conducted on March 6, 2013, states “there is no evidence of mental health issues.”

The assessment also said that risk factors at the time of the shooting for Young included alcohol dependence, a feeling of hopelessness due to her involvement in an unstable relationship, a negative self-view and poor coping skills due to a longstanding history of involvement in abusive intimate relationships.

Since being on day parole, Young has successfully completed a substance abuse treatment program – she’s been sober, says the report, for more than 10 years – with no noted concerns.

She has found employment, lives on her own and the psychologist felt Young presented as “conscientious and hardworking with a positive self-view.”

The psychologist concluded Young is in the low-risk range for reoffending.

“You have made positive changes since the index offences (shootings),” states the parole board report quoting the psychologist. “You have a positive peer circle, are successful occupationally, and express healthy levels of self-confidence and contentment.”

The board did look at the brutality of Young’s offences and considered her “significant” history of alcohol abuse.

However, the board also considered her sobriety and low-risk assessment before granting parole.

The four special conditions Young must obey is to have no director or indirect contact with the victim or any member of the victims’ families; immediately report all sexual and non-sexual

Parking and park considered by city Morning Star Staff

There are attempts to ease potential conflict when road work leads to reduced parking.

Vernon council has directed staff to come forward with a policy that could prohibit road reconstruction from eliminating parking on at least one side of the road where parking currently exists.

“We’ve seen what happens when no parking is permitted on either side of the street,” said Coun.

Catherine Lord referring to 20th Street where road work resulted in on-street parking being eliminated.

“I don’t want to see this happen again.”

Canadian Lakeview wants park The City of Vernon is under pressure to address demands for a park at Canadian Lakeview Estates.

The Lakeview Estates Community Association says the Regional District of North Okanagan was on the verge of purchasing land for park, but because the

city is now taking over jurisdiction of local parks, the process stalled.

“Over the past five years, our community has been encouraged to believe the proposed parkland would be a reality,” said Guy Morazain, LECA president.

School makes the grade roger knox Morning Star Staff

A significant piece of Armstrong’s history is a step closer to being preserved.

Following a public hearing Monday, city council gave third reading to a bylaw that will give Armstrong Elementary School official heritage designation.

“I think it’s absolutely wonderful,” said Gail Salter of Armstrong’s Heritage Advisory Committee and the Armstrong Spallumcheen Museum and Arts Society, who attended the public hearing.

“It’s one of the most historic and beautiful buildings in Armstrong, and has a lot of history.”

Council is expected to pass fourth and final reading at its next regular meeting June 10.

A celebration for the designation will likely happen in the fall when school is back in session.

It would become the 12th property in Armstrong to receive heritage designation.

A property that receives heritage designation in Armstrong is protected from the owner making changes to the facade of the building without having applied to the city for a permit to make such changes.

“It gives the city some authority to stop people from doing something that is not historically correct,” said Armstrong administrator Patti Ferguson.

“It makes it obvious to the current owner and any

future owner that the building means a great deal to this community.”

The school is currently owned by the North Okanagan Shuswap School District, which is well aware of the historical significance to the community. Because it will have heritage designation, the school would be eligible for the heritage restoration and conservation grant program.

Armstrong Elementary School opened on Sept.

8, 1921, and was one of the first consolidated schools in B.C. Prior to its construction, area children attended eight separate school houses in the area (one on Pleasant Valley Road in Spallumcheen still stands) and it was then-Armstrong Mayor Jim Wright who hit on the idea of bringing all the kids to one consolidated school.

“He convinced the department of education to do it and it became one of the first consolidated schools in B.C.,” said Salter. “That’s what it was known as for some time, the consolidated school.”

Consolidation of Armstrong Elementary School also led to the idea of transporting kids to a central school. Modified trucks were used, the precursor to the school bus.

“It was a first in B.C. and Western Canada, the concept of bringing the kids into a central school,” said Salter. “The modified trucks were rough. Kids spent as much time pushing them as riding in them.”

Grandma pulls child from raging river Morning Star Staff

A grandmother is being hailed for her quick action.

On May 26, a seven-year-old boy fell into the Shuswap River below the falls, near Lumby.

“The boy was pulled from the swift water by his grandmother who was subsequently swept downstream herself,” said Sgt. Henry Proce, with the RCMP. “It was extremely fortunate Henry Proce that she was able to drag herself from the river near the fish hatchery and suffered only mild hypothermia.”

The 58-year-old woman does not wish to be recognized for her actions.

“She stated she only did what any grandmother would do,” said Proce.

In other news, a rancher on Sigalet Road, north of Lumby, reported May 27 that a cougar had killed his sheep.

The big cat came within metres of the farmer’s house.

“If you see a cougar, you are asked to call the police or district conservations officers,” said Proce.

Invade my privacy

world-famous entertainer announced that she and her boyfriend were splitting up in one of the saddest tweets I’ve ever read: “We have decided to go our separate ways.

Please respect our privacy.”

It was quite a shock. Not that they broke up -that was inevitable. After all, she’s a celebrity and they’d been together almost six months. Do the math. Besides, three months ago she was telling the hosts of the morning and afternoon TV shows that she had finally found her soul mate and they’d be together until the end of time, which is the way famous people say, “It’s not over, but it’s on life support.”

The end of time turned Jim Mullen out to be last Tuesday.

Why it didn’t work out is anybody’s guess; why does anyone fall out of love? Because they need a special pass to get on the tour bus? Because she’s a workaholic with no time for a relationship? Did he think she became famous by being lazy? Did he think she was going to ignore the fans who pay her bills just to pay attention to him?

Was it because her manager and the musicians treated him like a roadie? Was it because she was sleeping with other people?

No, I wasn’t shocked that they broke up. I was shocked that she thought anyone would respect her privacy. Grow up, girlfriend.

Adding “please respect our privacy” in a tweet you’re sending to four million people is really selfdefeating.

It’s like sending out a press release with “Please don’t print this” at the bottom. Instead of making them back off, it sends the paparazzi and entertainment TV shows into a feeding frenzy.

A good celebrity breakup is tabloid gold; it’s practically the only thing they want to talk about.

It pushes celebrities that have gained weight, gotten plastic surgery and gone shopping without makeup to the back pages.

VillAgE idiot

The only thing that could be better than a celebrity breakup is a royal pregnancy or a royal wedding, and how often do those happen? But a good celebrity breakup? There’s one a week. And the more breakups a star has, the more they’ll get written about.

Wait! Do you think it’s possible that an artist would break up with her boyfriend just to sell a few CDs? It’s probably just a coincidence that her latest recording is about to be released and that she’s about to go on tour. But isn’t that what happened right before she released her last record?

And the one before that?

Surely no one would break up with the love of her life just to sell a few recordings. Recordings with song titles like “Fall in a Hole and Die,” “Don’t Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out,” “You Were The Thorn in My Bed of Roses” and “Your Lawyer Asked for My Autograph.”

Wouldn’t it be cynical to think this is all part of a well-planned publicity stunt, as if breaking up with your boyfriend is a business decision, not a romantic one?

There was a time when celebrities tried to keep their images squeaky-clean. They wanted publicity, but only the good kind: stories about them posing for pictures with fans, going to awards shows and hosting charity events. “Bad” publicity -- a divorce, an affair, a drug bust -- might end your career.

Those days went out with spats and top hats.

Misbehaving in public has become a career move: a way to stand out from the clutter of people who only have talent going for them. Sober?

Monogamous? Drug-free? No rap sheet? No selfrespecting talent agent would touch you with a stick. Your career’s fading? Make a scene on an airplane. Get thrown out of a nightclub. Forget you have a loaded gun in your pants.

Start an ugly screaming match with your fiance at a crowded restaurant, then listen to that phone start ringing. “Can you come to our town to sing and break up with someone?” “Can you be in our next movie and get arrested a week before it opens? We’ll make it worth your while.”

High up on Premier Christy Clark’s to do list when she unveils her new cabinet and new direction has to be aboriginal treaty settlements across the province.

Too few treaties have been actually signed since the federal and provincial and First Nations agreed on the principle of negotiated treaties recognizing self government and control over resources.

The 2000 Nisga’a treaty was negotiated outside of the established treaty process while the Kitselas and Kitsumkalum, just this year, approved agreements in principle leading toward final talks after more than 17 years of negotiations.

As the premier of B.C., Clark must decide on a political direction for treaty settlements that, in concert with the federal government, seeks to hasten progress.

At the moment, the political end of land claims has fallen way behind the economic reality of relations with aboriginal peoples.

Pick any major project in this region from B.C. Hydro’s Northwest Transmission Line, to mines, to liquefied natural gas plants plans and the pipelines to feed them and you’ll find some kind of economic deal signed with a First Nation or a promise of signing one.

These deals so far fall under the broad “consult and accommodate” approach that’s been developed thanks to court rulings.

The challenge for the premier is to now find a political model that fits with the growing economic importance of aboriginal peoples.

be prepared Although officer Gerry Kovac's experience at the Boston Marathon bombings opened eyes as to our state of readiness here in Vernon, let's all remember that a Boston-type experience is not likely to happen here. I believe that the other big newsmaker is far more important – the fertilizer plant explosion in Texas.

Has anyone else noticed how often the railway leaves propane tankers parked in the middle of the city?

City resources could be better spent convincing the railways to locate tankers out of town.

Health system needs fixing

thought I would share my latest contact with our health care system.

Recently, while doing yard work, I cut my hand badly enough that I realized I was in need of having the wound sutured, being unable to stop the bleedings and unable to apply a proper dressing.

I drove to the Armstrong clinic, asking for a nurse to examine my cut hand.

The attending nurse asked if I had a family doctor in Armstrong, at which time I advised her that my family doctor was located in Vernon.

The nurse then suggested that I attend a walk-in clinic in Vernon or attend Vernon Jubilee Hospital to get treatment for my wound.

The nurse then asked if I was feeling well enough to drive myself into Vernon. Failing that, they would contact an ambulance for me to attend the emergency unit at Vernon hospital.

I asked the nurse if she would, at the very least, apply a proper dressing for the would to prevent further bleeding which she kindly did. Needless to say, I was very

surprised that I could not get my wound sutured at the Armstrong clinic and found myself driving to the Vernon hospital.

When I got to the Vernon hospital, I could not find a parking space in the area of the emergency zone and ended up parking in the handicapped zone which was closer to the emergency entrance to the hospital.

I left my bloody towel on the dash hoping that the parking attendant would realize that I was in the emergency unit and not ticket my vehicle.

After an hour waiting time, I finally got to see the doctor in emergency. When she realized I was a resident of Armstrong, she asked

city economy Mr. Mayor and council, do you really reside in Vernon and conduct business here?

To what degree the statistics are correct from the reports, quoted on the front page, is rather moot!

There is fact built into the report, the departing families, city GNP, average incomes, etc.

Vernon and its immediate business trading areas are suffering from drastic economic adjustments.

However, for the elected Vernon spokesperson to take such a cavalier and unrelated/out-of-context comment position is reprehensible.

Does it really take a federal report for you and council to see what is evolving around your ivory tower at city hall?

Have you not seen the dwindling occupied storefronts of Vernon? Have you not asked the question as to what is happening in your own backyard?

Why don’t you do a walkabout and see how the economy and all levels of government decisions

have affected business in Vernon?

For you not to be aware of the degree of the economic downturn that we, on the daily firing line, have been experiencing since 2008 is, quite frankly governance incompetency displayed in its finest hour.

Why not risk an advertised open town hall meeting, since you promote yourself as an open and approachable council and see what business thinks of the general economic conditions and the factors that have driven us to this juncture?

Jeff Wuolle fees unfair I write in support of the plight of the Landing residents who are being charged sewer utility fees by the City of Vernon when, in fact, they are not using the service.

A further example of this unfair treatment is the development of our affordable housing projects in the city.

Simply, we purchase buildings, totally renovate them into small suites or rooms at affordable rents.

why I did not attend the Armstrong clinic to get proper treatment.

I told the doctor that I did attend there but the nurse on duty informed that I could not get my cut treated there for reasons previously stated.

Needless to say, the doctor at the Vernon hospital emergency unit was very surprised to hear that I could not get my hand wound properly treated at the Armstrong clinic.

I wonder how many of us are aware of just how our health care system is working or should I say not working if and when we require treatment of any sort, especially if the attendance of a doctor is required.

Furthermore, the reason I have

Locally owned & Operated

a family doctor in Vernon is simply because I could not get one in Armstrong, period.

No doubt there are many other people who have experienced circumstances similar to mine but have shrugged their shoulders and accepted our health care system as it is, and I am writing this letter on their behalf as well.

It would seem that our communities outside of Vernon have been left to accept the health care system as it is without resolve.

Is it because we do not have sufficient doctors available to service our communities or simply the cost factor which seems to be the most reasonable excuse our provincial government and health authorities can come up with.

As is often said, only the users of our health care system really know its shortcomings with many experiencing tragic outcomes. They remain the silent majority.

We are well on our way to losing our reputation as having one of the best health care systems in the world and deservingly so.

Len eddy

We want to hear from you

On purchase, we inform both the private utilities and the city that for the period of the renovations, no utilities to the building are required.

Dutifully, the private utility providers — B.C. Hydro, Shaw Cable and Telus — disconnect their services to the building at no cost for the disconnect.

In contrast, the city charges a fee for water service shut-off at the street and continues to charge for the unused city utilities during the building renovations.

Similar to the response from the city to the complaints of the Landing residents, I too was told that the ongoing fees, no service provided, is to "maintain the infrastructure."

Well, the private utility lines are still on the poles affronting our projects while renovations are continuing and they don't charge a fee for maintaining their infrastructure.

As such, this disconnect between the private and public utility provider is simply an unfair cash grab and should be stopped.

The Regional District of North Okanagan switched customers back to the Kalamalka Lake source Thursday.

“Customers may notice a change in water quality, such as increase in hardness,” said Renee Clark, water quality manager.

“This may be of interest to those customers who have inhome water treatment systems or aquariums.”

Kal Lake customers were switched to the Duteau Creek source May 23 because of turbidity in the lake.

DISMISSING A DISABLED EMPLOYEE

By Janice Mucalov, LL.B. Can you replace an employee who becomes disabled and can’t return to work?

Dismissing a disabled employee is a difficult issue.

In general, any employee can be let go without cause if given reasonable notice of the termination or severance pay instead.

But if the employee can no longer work because of a disability which appears to be permanent, then the employment contract may be said to be “frustrated,” and you may be able to dismiss the employee without giving notice or severance.

Consider the case of Janice D. She had worked for 19 years at a desk job when she injured her right elbow in an unrelated fall. Off work for 20 months on disability, she was expected to be off for another seven months. Her boss decided to let her go and offered 12 months’ severance pay, topping up what she would have received in disability payments. Her long-term disability coverage ended two years after kicking in, and she sued her employer for wrongful dismissal, claiming 16 to 18 months’ pay in damages.

Nick The BC Supreme Court found that the 20-month absence put her disability into the “permanent” category (at the trial, five years after she was let go, no evidence was presented that she could work). Her absence was “one of sufficient duration… to make the further performance of the employee’s obligations under the contract of employment either impossible or radically different from those contemplated by the agreed terms of employment.”

However, it’s rare for an employer to win a dismissal case on the basis of “frustration” due to an employee’s illness. Several cases suggest that if a disability benefits plan is offered at work, then the employment contract can’t be frustrated, because you’ve

contemplated the potential disability of the employee.

You must be reasonable when determining if an employee on medical leave is likely to return to work. A lumber mill was liable for 12 months’ pay in lieu of notice after hiring someone to replace the plaintiff, who took 16 months off work to recover from a car accident. While the plaintiff’s disability was of a considerable duration, other employees had returned to work after a year off sick, and the employer should have asked the plaintiff if he intended to return to work before replacing him.

You must also be careful that a termination doesn’t affect the employee’s entitlement to long-term disability benefits.

Most disability plans won’t cover an employee who isn’t actively employed at the time of the claim for disability.

Firing the employee before they start receiving long-term disability could make you liable for all the benefits the employee loses.

Consider too BC’s Human Rights Code. Even if you give Vlahos reasonable notice or pay in lieu, this won’t help if you’ve discriminated against the employee on the basis of a disability. You have a duty to “accommodate” a disabled employee, e.g., by allowing the employee time off for physiotherapy. But you can be excused if the level of accommodation needed would result in “undue hardship” to you or endanger the safety of others.

The Supreme Court of Canada has said that work is a fundamental aspect of a person’s life, providing not only financial support but a sense of self-worth too.

Employers should consult their lawyer if considering dismissing a disabled employee.

And any employee who feels they have been wrongfully fired should see their lawyer too.

Revite project proceeds richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Upgrades to Vernon’s main street continue to move ahead.

Revitalization began in mid-March on 30th Avenue from 33rd to 35th streets.

“The contractor is confident it will still be done by the end of June,” said Mark Dowhaniuk, the City of Vernon’s infrastructure engiDowhaniuk neer.

On Monday, the next stage will see the removal of the old sidewalk and installation of the shallow utilities adjacent to properties.

Pedestrians will be able to access merchants through fenced corridors.

“The city is pleased residents are supporting these businesses and we hope they continue to do so,” said Dowhaniuk.

But while pedestrian access continues, 30th Avenue remains closed to vehicle traffic from 33rd to 35th streets.

“Vehicle and pedestrian traffic will be re-directed around the construction as necessary,” said Dowhaniuk.

During construction, the transit stop that is normally located on the south side of the downtown Safeway is re-located to the north side of the downtown Safeway on 35th Street in front of the Discovery Plaza.

The total revitalization project cost is $2.2 million.

“We are staying on budget,” said Dowhaniuk.

It’s a mud bog, but upgrades to Armstrong’s Colony Street remain on schedule.

The recent wet weather has created some inconvenience to the access for local residents.

“It’s quite muddy,” said Coun. John Trainor.

“The contractor, we hear, is doing his best to keep the residents informed and keeps working on maintaining a reasonable access to the houses.”

The contractor is Pyramid Excavation Corporation of Kelowna who has impressed John Trainor Armstrong’s public works department to the point they have now officially been awarded the second part of the Colony Street capital works project.

Pyramid will provide Colony Avenue with a water and storm upgrade and a water upgrade on Heather Avenue.

The project is slated to be finished by July 31.

Stage two restrictions The city remains under stage two water restrictions.

The move was implemented earlier in May due to high turbidity on the Fortune Creek water source.

“We’re all on our wells now because of the high turbidity,” said Trainor.

Restrictions remain in effect until the water quality of the Fortune Creek source returns to acceptable levels allowing the source to be brought back online.

Supporting theatre The City of Armstrong has thrown some financial support to a musical play about the city’s history.

Council voted unanimously to spend $500 to support the Asparagus Community Theatre production All About the People, which will run June 26 to 29 and July 3 to 6.

The show is an original musical by Peter Blacklock and directed by Asparagus Community Theatre veteran Paul Kirkwood-Hackett.

The play will feature a large local coast of all ages and live music by The Pleasant Valley Boys.

“The play highlights many early events and characters, both real and imagined, and the struggles and triumphs that built our fine town,” wrote Maryke Simmonds, the play’s producer.

Vernon shook up a substantial show of support, raising $15,000 at the recent Zumbathon for Habitat for Humanity.

“Wow, wow, wow! That is all I can say,” said Sareena Sharma Nickoli following the event she helped co-ordinate.

Funds raised at the Zumbathon will support the ‘Lend a hand to buy the land’ campaign to raise $300,000 for a lot for Habitat for Humanity to build on in Vernon.

“Our ‘Habitat Champs’ couldn’t be more thrilled with the event,” said Nickoli. “The energy and support in the room was contagious and we had over 100 participants of all ages, sizes, ethnicities and level of experience; people out there giving it all for Habitat.”

Among those on the floor shaking their booties were Richard Rolke, Brian Martin and Jolene Chernoff from the local media.

Winning the grand prize of an original art piece for most pledges was Christine Stroh. Between her and Glory Westwell, $10,000 was pledged for this event “(The night) was amazing, from my Habitat Champs, to the RBC crew, to the amazing instructors, my helpers by my side Charlene and Ashlea, the local celebs that danced their hearts out, Matt Walker, who was so awesome on stage with me, all of those you who donated and everybody that attended - this event would not have been successful without you all,” said Nickoli, in awe that the event surpassed its goal.

Home Depot supports shelter Morning Star Staff

Customers at the Vernon Home Depot store can donate $2 to purchase a paper hammer.

All proceeds raised will support Vernon Women’s Transition House, which provides shelter and services to women seeking safety from abuse in their relationship.

“The foundation believes safe, stable, affordable housing matters,” said Peg Hunter, chairperson of the Home Depot Canada Foundation.

“Working together and supporting affordable housing, we can help build brighter futures and stronger communities for everyone.”

The campaign will run until July 3.

Coldstream steps up to support annual Walk for ALS richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Coldstream is doing its part to promote research into a devastating disease.

Council has approved the installation of a banner for the June 15 Walk for ALS on the Kal Beach fence.

“We want to increase participation and to do that, we want to raise awareness,” said Nichoel Crawford, event coordinator, of the need for the two-foot-byfour-foot banner.

The ALS Society requested permission to erect a temporary sign for three weeks.

“Council has granted permission for the same request for the Hospice Society for the past three years,” said Bob Bibby, the district’s building

official.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the person’s motor neurons that carry messages to the muscles. It results in weakness and wasting in arms, legs, the mouth, throat and other parts of the body.

“Typically, the person is immobilized or deceased within two to five years of the initial diagnosis,” said Crawford.

Three to five Canadians are diagnosed with ALS every day and the same number die from the disease daily.

Funds raised during the Walk for ALS will go towards research to find a cure and to support families coping with the

disease.

“Our goal is to raise

$28,000,” said Crawford.

The event takes place

June 15 at Vernon’s Polson Park. For more

information or to register, go to www.walk-

Residents reminded of fence restrictions

Best of Orpheus

Morning Star Staff

The City of Vernon wants to ensure residents follow the rules when constructing fences.

A zoning bylaw sets out heights that apply to fences, walls, chain link fences and hedges in all residential zones.

“Property owners are responsible for making sure they, or their contractors, are compliant when constructing screens, fences, walls or planting hedges on their property,” said Clint Kanester, bylaw enforcement manager. “We would be happy to come out and assist in fence design, rather than have to deal with a fence improperly constructed.”

The bylaw states a fence must be 1.2 metres (4.0 feet) if situated along the lot lines within front yard setbacks, while it can be two metres (6.4 feet) if situated behind the front yard setback.

A fence can also be two metres high (6.4 feet) if situated along the interior and exterior setback and/or rear yard.

A traffic bylaw also contains regulations for lots at an intersection corner that restrict fence height in a defined vision clearance area to one metres.

“In all cases fences are to be constructed entirely on private property and are not to extend over, nor infringe upon the city right-of-way,” said Kanester.

Heritage house recognized

It’s older than the city.

And now, the 103-year-old house at 3210 Patterson Street in Armstrong has been recommended for heritage designation by Armstrong’s Heritage Society.

“It’s very old and it’s very unusual,” said Gail Salter of the heritage society in addressing Armstrong council with regard to the recommendation.

The house is presently owned by Pamela Krazanowski but tax records document a house being on the property in 1910.

In 1928, a Robert Tilton owned the house but sold it the following year to A.L.C. Madden of Vancouver, who kept possession until 1943.

The house was then sold to a local couple.

William Frederick Youngblud and his wife, Keturah. They owned the property until the 1950s.

Youngblud came west from Saskatchewan and landed in Armstrong in 1935. He took over managing the clothing department at the Armstrong Co-Op. After a fire at the Co-Op, Youngblud assisted Herb Hoover to establish a men’s furnishings business and stayed on with Hoover. Youngblud was an elder of the Zion United Church and led the church choir.

“We felt the house should be acknowledged based on mostly the social aspect of Mr. and Mrs. Youngblud, who contributed greatly to the community,” said Salter. “Although it is also a very interesting house.”

The house has two floors, a partially finished basement and an attached garage. The home’s

The society does have one concern about the home and has voiced it in its recommendation to council.

The house has aluminum siding.

“We have put in a proviso in the recommendation for designation that at a future date when the siding requires changing, it be changed to something compatible with the age of the house,” said Salter. “We don’t expect it to be done now, which is onerous on the homeowner. But we think it’s reasonable to expect it to be done when the siding needs to be changed.”

Council unanimously gave first two readings to a bylaw that would give the house heritage designation.

A public hearing on the matter has now been set for June 10 at 6:45 p.m. in Armstrong council chambers.

Stein closes book on high school Kevin Mitchell Sports Editor

He taught more than 8,000 students.

Coached another 1,000 or so. After 32 years in education, Marty Stein is done. He officially retires from Fulton Secondary later this month.

The numbers are just as impressive as the man. Well respected by his peers, students and athletes, Stein has always gone the extra kilometre for his school and community.

Born and raised in Vernon, Stein was pushed hard by his father, George, in work and play. Stein, blessed with an infectious smile, has used a much softer, engaging approach in all aspects of his life.

“Marty Stein is a motivator,” said Sharon Shaigec, who has taught beside Stein for decades at Fulton. “He knows when to ‘bark’ but he also has a very sensitive side in a fatherly manner to the kids in his classes that need a pat on the back and a kind word. Marty is a great friend to myself, and to many. He keeps things light.”

Stein finished his teaching career by coaching the Baby Maroons girls volleyball team and the senior girls soccer squad. He also coached senior boys soccer and Grade 8 and junior boys rugby and basketball in his early years at VSS and the old Fulton in Polson Park.

A UBC grad, who earned his master’s degree from Gonzaga, Stein also coached his three children – Andrew, Daniel and Melanie – in soccer and hockey.

“A master athlete and teacher of a wide range of sports, Marty brings a great intellectual knowledge of all sports to his P.E. classes,” added Shaigec, a former national team volleyball player. “He infuses humour into his teachings to keep the kids’ attention and he relates well to kids. Let’s face it, he’s been around awhile so has a lot of funny stories to tell.”

Stein represented B.C. in soccer before playing three seasons at UBC, where he also spent two years with the varsity hockey T-Birds. He played Junior A hockey for the Vernon Essos/Vikings and helped the Vernon Tigers claim three straight Canadian senior B lacrosse titles in the late 1970s.

He attended Harwood Elementary and Seaton Junior High before graduating from Vernon Senior Secondary School (VSSS) in 1974.

“I wrote in my high school yearbook

Lisa VanderVeLde/Morning star

Marty Stein, coaching the Fulton Maroons senior girls soccer team, talks to player A.J. Jacura in north Zone action at Marshall Field. that I wanted to be a P.E. teacher and stay in athletics,” said Stein, who at 56 and after five knee surgeries, keeps fit by refereeing soccer once or twice a week.

His teaching career got off to a rather stressful start at VSSS in 1981. He coached soccer and rugby and ran the intramural leagues, which was exactly what he signed up for. The classroom was more of a challenge.

“I was a phys-ed, social studies teacher and they told me I would be teaching law, general business, accounting and English. I scrambled to call some teachers, get some books and find out how to teach all these

subjects.”

Stein moved to the old Fulton in ‘86 and taught German and English in between coaching gigs. He convinced principal Larry Grist to let him teach P.E. and socials at the new Fulton.

“I’ve taught phys-ed full-time since ‘91 and I’ve tried to stress that anything worth doing is worth doing right; go have fun.”

He has always promoted playing a different sport each season.

“Don’t play a sport all year. Kids need rest. They burn out like coaches. The kids are going to find out what sport they want to play. The kids that I coached wanted to

be there so they wanted to learn. They’ll tell you when ‘it’s enough coach.’ I have to feed off the kids. The kids in the classroom, they have to be there so it’s a different atmosphere.”

He’s coached and taught so many extraordinary kids to single any out, but he has no regrets on becoming a teacher.

“The good stories outweigh the bad ones and there are so many good memories.

There are so many good parents, so many good kids. I love to go to school, but I’m lucky because I’ve got another job to go to.”

Admittedly tough, but fair as a coach and teacher, Stein gets huge satisfaction running into people from his past.

“The one thing I love is I’ve always had kids and adults come up to me and talk to me. Some kids say, ‘I’m glad you were tough on me.’”

Paul Morgan, a financial broker and Rep soccer coach in Vernon, played for the soccer Panthers during Stein’s first years at VSSS. “Marty and Keith Brookes were the co-coaches and they had a great balance between them,” said Morgan. “Marty was young and just out of university and was still a great player. Keith had the experience. Marty was always approachable. He had an interesting way of being your friend, but still being your coach. He had your respect and he was never heavy-handed.”

Hana Ouchi was a central defender with Stein’s Maroons this season.

“He’s really caring with the players,” said Ouchi, who begins a year Rotary Exchange in France this fall. “He’s passionate about working to make everybody improve. He makes it enjoyable by keeping it light. He’s a great guy.”

The new job Stein is taking up in retirement is really nothing new. He’s been a part-time scout for the Detroit Red Wings for 18 years, recruited by friend and former Viking teammate Ken Holland. Marty has three Stanley Cup rings and has been to Wings’ owner Mike Illitch’s house for postCup celebrations.

Stein will now be a full-time bird-dog in western Canada, checking out prospects in the WHL and BCHL. “I have been scouting between 100 and 128 games a year so now I’ll be doing probably over 150. I make my own timetable for travelling all over Alberta, B.C. and Washington.”

Shamrocks rekindle offensive spark Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong Shamrocks played their best game of the year and it earned them a 14-9 Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League win over the visiting Kelowna Raiders Friday night.

The Rocks struck early in the first period at the Nor-Val Sports Centre and were able to build a 6-3 lead before the break.

Armstrong continued to click offensively in the second frame, chasing Kelowna starting netminder Ryan Brabander with two more goals. Grahame Cousins didn’t fare much better in relief as the ‘Rocks connected three more times to take an 11-6 lead into a penalty-filled third period.

Armstrong’s top scorers were Milan Marcetta (2+5), Jarrett Medhurst (3+1), Pat Nelson (1+4), Steve Clark (2), Braydon Sanders (2), Brennan Plante (1+2), Brett Heitman (1+2), Jamie Coskerhill and Thomas Belenger.

Injuries took a toll on the Kalamalka Lakers at the B.C. Senior AA Girls Soccer Championships in Courtenay.

Playing with a banged-up lineup, Kal bowed 6-0 to the Nanaimo District Islanders in their final pool game Friday morning, and then fell 3-1 to the Seycove Community Seyhawks of North Vancouver in their playoff opener that afternoon.

Injuries forced Kal coach Derrick Parmelee to tweak his lineup, which resulted in girls filling in at unfamiliar positions.

Playing with a broken nose suffered earlier in the tournament, Kal’s Julia Kemper was fearless in net against Nanaimo, but had to leave the game after a collision in the crease. Megan Squair stepped up and played goal for the remainder of the game.

The Lakers played hard but couldn’t capitalize against Nanaimo. Paige Ralston and Teigan Moore had strong games in the midfield.

Kal scored first against the defending B.C. champion Seyhawks on a corner by Moore that was headed in by Ralston.

Seycove equalized shortly after and went ahead just before halftime. They scored again in the final minute. Emma Tassie was Kal’s player of the game.

The Lakers opened the tourney Thursday with a 2-1 loss to the Surrey Christian Falcons.

Kal trailed after 10 minutes when Surrey converted on a goal-mouth scramble after a missed offside call. Later in the half, the Falcons deflected a shot off a Kal defender to take a 2-0 lead into the break.

The Lakers came out with a better effort in the second half and were rewarded with a goal by Tassie, assisted by Moore.

Kal fell 3-1 to the Little Flower Academy Angels of Vancouver in their second tilt, again falling behind early on a questionable non-offside call.

Kal pressed hard and equalized in the second half on a goal by Ralston, assisted by Nicole Williams. Little Flower went ahead for good after a corner kick, and then sealed the win with a nice give-and-go play.

Emily Thorlakson did well as a first-time sweeper, while Kaelyn Parmelee, Moore and Kaely Johnson had strong games in the midfield.

Jays show Sox no Love Morning Star Staff

The Five Star Awards Blue Jays continued their Mosquito baseball hot streak with a 16-11 decision over the Best Western Lodge Red Sox Thursday night at Lakeview Park.

Jameson Love, with four hits, and Sawyer Bliss, with a home run, were offensive standouts for the Sox, who got solid pitching from Sapien Joe. The Jays’ offence was led by rookie Quinn MacAuley, Nolan Stein, Kassidy Schaper-Kotter and Jace Weir, who each hit 3-for-3. Baylee Cooney made a game-saving play in the top of the sixth inning to prevent three Sox runs.

In Pee Wee action Wednesday night at Creekside Park, the Ironman Directional Drilling Devils grounded the Interior Utility Management Yellow Jackets 12-9.

Izaac Lowe and newcomer Trey Winstanley singled and scored to jumpstart the Jackets’ offence in the first inning, while Lincoln Connor delivered three strikeouts in the top of the second.

Kalvin Blaeser and Eric Foufoulas hit hard singles to eventually score and Daryl Bloor hit a RBI double, eventually scoring in the second.

The Devils shut down the Yellow Jacket offence in the third, but Blaeser walked in the fourth and scored after some excellent base stealing. Ryan Rumsey cracked an RBI single, as did Bloor.

The Devils’ batting came alive with six runs in the fifth inning, and despite a monster solo shot by Powell Connor, singles from Matthew Hansen and Winstanley, and a double from Lowe, the Jackets couldn’t close the gap.

In Tuesday-night play, the Jackets ousted Rutland 21-10 at Creekside Park.

Blaeser earned a pair of strikeouts to silence Rutland’s bats in the first inning. Foufoulas, at shortstop, tagged out an attempted steal to second for the other out.

In the second inning, Jon Morley brought home Lowe and Powell Connor with a single, and then scored himself by stealing home. Hansen also scored off a Foufoulas single to right field. Blaeser fanned the side.

With Vernon up 8-2 in the third inning, Blaeser walked and eventually stole home. Lincoln Connor, Rumsey and Bloor also stole home.

Rumsey, taking over the mound, picked off an attempted Rutland steal. Lincoln Connor caught a runner in a hot box for another out.

Powell Connor, Lowe, Hansen and Blaeser scored in the fourth to extend the Jackets’ lead.

Rumsey struck out a pair of batters and got the third out at home as he covered for a steal.

Emily Wilson, Powell Connor, Lowe and Morley completed the attack in the fifth.

Sports Sundance sending athletes to Spain Morning Star Staff

Sundance Martial Arts is sending a trio of athletes to the International Taekwon-Do Federation world championships this fall in Benidorm, Spain.

Brad Cotey, 21, qualified for Team Canada by earning silver in men’s heavyweight black belt sparring at the national championships recently in Quebec. Teammate Abbie Bennett, 17, won silver in junior girls black belt light heavyweight sparring, and Kelly Kinniburgh, 32, also took silver in women’s light heavyweight sparring.

Out of the nine B.C. competitors making the national team, three are members of Sundance, which operates facilities in Vernon and Kelowna.

Meanwhile, Vernon’s Brett Bell, 17, turned in a fourth-place showing in junior boys light heavyweight sparring in Quebec. Cotey earned bronze in men’s first-degree black belt patterns, and Bennett was third in junior girls second-degree patterns.

“All of our competitors have been training hard for months for this tournament and all the hard work and efforts have paid off,” said Sundance head instructor David White, a fifth-degree black belt.

A thermometer was unveiled Thursday to promote the Whitevalley Community Resource Centre’s fundraising campaign in Lumby.

Morning Star Staff

Lumby residents have a visible reminder of the role they can play in supporting families, youth and seniors.

The Whitevalley Community Resource Centre unveiled its Legacy Fund thermometer Thursday at the rest stop on the west side of the village.

“People will see it as a reminder that the campaign is going on,” said Joanne Kineshanko, campaign co-chairperson.

The Legacy Fund campaign’s goal is to raise $800,000 for an endowment fund. The principle will remain in an endowment fund and the interest generated each year will help cover operational expenses.

To date, $50,000 has been raised.

“We only started officially Jan. 1 and given that it’s a fiveyear campaign, we are doing extremely well,” said Kineshanko.

“We’ve made contact with a number of potential donors.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Usually, you’re pretty good at picking a worthwhile objective, but today you might stand back and let another do the selecting. You won’t like what you end up with.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Instead of belittling someone who is trying to be productive, speak up and show him or her how to be more effective.

Remember, talk is cheap but exemplary action has much to offer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Pressure might prove fruitless when trying to get another to repay a debt. However, a softened approach, using compassion, might work.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Extra helpings of tact might be required to placate your mate. Your other choice is having a direct confrontation that will only lead to resentment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You are likely to have a sharp eye for spotting the mistakes of others.

Unfortunately, if your comments are critical instead of constructive, they’ll arouse resentment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) To gratify an extravagant whim, you are likely to make an expensive, unwise purchase. Oh, you’ll realize your mistake, but only after you get what you want.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You take pride in being self-reliant, yet for some reason, you may put yourself in a position

where you are overly dependent on others. Be careful.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Don’t make the mistake of trying to even up an old score. You might get a lot of momentary satisfaction, but it’ll expose you to a huge counterattack.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Upon occasion, you can be overly generous to the undeserving while totally ignoring the worthy, and this could be one of those days. Strive to keep your priorities in perspective.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) An objective that you’ve been knocking yourself out to reach is likely to be of little value once it’s attained. Before you expend any additional effort, reassess its true value.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you allow your emotions to override your common sense, you’ll become more confused than you already are. Use your head.

Hormones Q: I am having problems with sleep, sex drive, hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings and low energy.

What can I do?

A: These are just a few symptoms of hormone dysfunction. You need hormone testing (saliva or blood tests) to identify imbalances. Treatment uses bio-identical, plant based hormones that exactly duplicate hormones your body produces.

Moderately Confused

Bridge by Phillip Alder WITH MORE POINTS, SUPPORT EVEN HIGHER Katey Sagal, an actress and singer-songwriter, said, “I think we respond well when we do something well.”

At the bridge table, we score well when, inter alia, responder rebids well -- our theme this week.

Look at the North hand.

What should North bid on the second round?

When the auction begins like this, if responder rebids two hearts, it announces weakness (6-9 points). If he jumps to three hearts, he shows game-invitational values (10-12 points). This hand, though, is worth game.

North should jump to four hearts.

After West leads the club queen, how should South

plan the play?

With a different hand, North would have other ways to force to game; we will look at the most important later this week.

South has four losers in his hand, one in each suit.

He cannot avoid conceding tricks to the missing aces, so he must do something about the club loser -- immediately.

Declarer must discard a club from either hand.

There are two ways to do this. The better is to win the first trick in his hand with the king and to play a spade to dummy’s jack. East takes his ace and returns a club, but declarer wins with dummy’s ace and discards his third club on the spade king. Then it is time to draw trumps as quickly as possible.

Alternatively, declarer can win the first trick on the board and lead the diamond jack. West wins this or the next diamond and plays another club. South takes this in his hand and continues diamonds to ditch dummy’s last club. He then ruffs his last club on the board and turns to trumps.

Revolution!

Joan and Roy Wood celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary May 29. They were married at the Norwood United Church in Winnipeg, Man. in 1953.

Joan and Roy first met at a party in Winnipeg and then again a short time later at the Winnipeg Badminton Club.

The Woods are still big fans of racquet sports (as players and spectators) and continue to be involved with badminton, tennis and pickle ball. After they were married, the couple spent their honeymoon in Banff, Alta., as they worried that they wouldn’t have too many opportunities to see the mountains again. Fortunately this wasn’t the case, though, as Roy was soon transferred to Calgary. The Woods and their four children (Darrell, Janice, Barb and Leanne) spent many days skiing in the mountains at Lake Louise and Sunshine.

Although they lived in Calgary for more than 30 years, the Woods always loved the Okanagan, and Joan and Roy bought a cabin on Westside Road (now WestKal) back in 1970. The Wood family spent every summer in Vernon, until Roy retired in 1987 and they moved to Vernon permanently.

Asking Joan her thoughts on 60 years of marriage, she said with a big smile, “the

DOWNTOWN REALTY

by two reporters of a national newspaper one week and his brother, a city councillor, accused of selling hash as a youth the next week.

Accusations keep arising about the mayor’s exploits but denials are hot and heavy and no way is he resigning.

I think if some of his behaviors were to happen here in the North Okanagan we would be marching on city hall. At least I hope we would.

Before I moved here many years ago I lived in Toronto as did my family for many generations. And while I moved on to my chosen home at the age of 60, I was still proud of Toronto, I just had different needs and values.

Today there seems very little to be proud of and indeed Toronto, or at least Toronto’s mayor, has become the laughing stock of news stories around the world. The barbarians are not only at the gates they seem to be running the city. A

shame? You bet your life.

The weather here is about as vacillating and confusing as the politics.

From heat as high as 30 degrees C and full of moisture on a holiday Monday with a huge thunderstorm blowing down trees to frost by Wednesday night and cold ever since although it is sunny most days with a high wind. I am a victim of this hot/ cold situation although it is not the primary cause of my developing pneumonia. I think my immune system was vulnerable from travelling and unfamiliar bugs and the constant change in conditions encouraged the pneumonia bugs to flourish. Thank good-

ness for modern drugs and how effectively they combat diseases. I am on puffers that are really working well and a super duper antibiotic, so things look good. I hope so, as I fly home in six days and I need to be there to feel the sun and smell that wonderful air.

I have seldom doubted that the Okanagan was my true home and this trip confirms it more than ever. Kissing the ground has always seemed a little extreme to me but I sure appreciate where that feeling may come from.

Recently the Mayo Clinic Newsletter had an interesting article about penicillin allergies, saying it recently became known that a history of penicillin doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t tolerate it now.

Sensitivity to penicillin can go away over the course of five to 10 years. A penicillin allergy skin test is essentially the only way to know if you’re still allergic. For

those who are allergic, a desensitization process that takes just a few hours at a hospital may allow them to safely take the antibiotic.

And what about that Senate? We seem to be involved in a level of political pollution never seen before. Some of the so-called “Honourable Members” of the Senate have become cheats, liars and domestic abusers and don’t seem to think this behaviour is unacceptable. They give seniors a bad name and if we cannot abolish the Senate perhaps we can insist that only non-seniors be made senators. I don’t know if the moral integrity of politicians has changed or if we just are better informed. We can’t blame a younger generation, as we sometimes do, as the senators on stage are certainly old and should know better.

Lumby’s cenotaph is in desperate need of repair and Village council is working to have it replaced.

The Corporation of the

City of Vernon Economic Development Advisory Committee Request to Fill 10 (Ten) Positions

A historic monument honouring the lives of Lumby soldiers needs the community’s support to restore its glory.

Lumby’s cenotaph, in Oval Park, is literally falling apart.

“It’s been needing repairs desperately,” said Mayor Kevin Acton of the aging monument which has stones falling out of it. “It’s quite sad.

“You think about these guys that gave their life for us.”

The cenotaph is anticipated to cost approximately $22,000 to replace.

The new structure is hoped to be finished in time for Remembrance Day (Nov. 11, 2013).

The village is applying for a federal grant which will match fundraising dollars, therefore it is seeking community support to help build the new cenotaph. A booth will be set up at the curling rink during Lumby Days June 7 to 9.

“We’re asking for feedback and if people have ideas we will be collecting them,” said Coun. Nick Hodge, who is taking on the project and hoping to send people home with information and donation envelopes.

The Council of the Corporation of the City of Vernon is seeking to fill ten (10) positions on the Economic Development Advisory Committee representing the following sectors: •

3 positions - Members at large

•

2 positions - Finance & Business Sector

•

1 position

- Construction Sector

•

1 position

- Retail Sector

•

1 position

- Education Sector

•

1 position

- Forestry Sector

•

1 position

- Health and Wellness Sector

— Kevin Acton

The new structure will be centred around a large rock, which was gifted to the Lumby legion, as the monument. A new bronze plaque will be applied and the goal is to create a pathway from the road to patio around the cenotaph.

“It’s going to be in the same location,” said Hodge.

Hodge is confident residents will support the cause to honour their local heroes.

“It’s been a topic of conversation in the community for years that something needs to be done,” said Hodge, noting that the village can issue charitable receipts.

Anyone who would like to support the project can mail or drop donations off at the Village of Lumby office at 1775 Glencaird Street (mailing address is Box 430 Lumby, V0E 2G0). Donations should be marked for the Cenotaph Project.

Wendy Elrick and her six horses offer a different kind of therapy

AlAnA Cheyne Special to The Morning Star

We’ve all heard of “horse whisperers,” people who have an uncanny ability to connect and communicate with horses. But can horses whisper back?

According to Wendy Elrick, they can. As a certified counsellor and founder of The Equine Connection, Elrick includes horses in her therapy sessions because of their ability to help clients increase their self-awareness and reconnect with themselves. On her eight-acre rural property in Vernon, clients experience a hands-on form of counselling, where a typical exercise might involve directing a horse over a hurdle in order to learn leadership and personal power.

Elrick, a longtime horse-lover, discovered equine-assisted therapy several years ago while attending an open house for a new riding stable and finding a handout on the subject.

“I was immediately excited that I could combine my two passions: horses and selfdevelopment,” she said.

And so began her mission to help people alongside horses, whom she calls her “associates” or “co-counsellors.”

Client Shauna Paynter learned to acknowledge and accept her anger. During a counselling session, Elrick invited her to use one of the horses, Bandit, as a metaphor for her anger, and to nurture the emotion rather than repress it.

“I decided to mount Bandit bareback,” Paynter said. “Once upon him, I laid down on him and embraced him. The warmth that I felt, our hearts, our breath, our connection seemed so raw, palpable and charged with energy. My whole body experienced a release.”

Another client, a young boy, was being bullied at school. After teaching him some coping skills, Elrick decided to enhance the message in the ring. While the horses roamed loose, Elrick began to role-play, assuming the role of the bully. Soon after, one of the horses stepped between them like a shield.

“The boy expressed a sense of being protected and was able to use his imagination when at school,” said Elrick. “He would imagine the horse beside him, supporting him when he had to deal with the bully.”

Elrick is particularly proud of her work with the Vernon Women’s Transition House, a society helping women and children recov-

Vernon-based counsellor Wendy Elrick runs The Equine Connection and finds that her clients benefit when horses are used in therapy sessions. er from domestic violence. Elrick’s Healing through Horses program offers two 10-week trauma recovery programs for women, addressing everything from coping skills to assertiveness and helping set the foundation for happier futures.

“They are available to any women in the community focusing on trauma recovery,” Elrick said, adding that when funds are available, children’s groups are offered as well.

Healing through Horses operates entirely through donations from sponsors such as Daryl and Karin O’Brian of The Paddock, The Horsey Ladies Banquet, Nature’s Fare, Arise Chiropractic, and generous private donors.

Counsellor Deon Soukeroff was working with the Transition House when she met Elrick and saw first-hand how Healing through Horses helped the victimized women.

“I was in awe at how quickly these women therapeutically were able to move through their trauma,” she said.

She soon began attending workshops for her own benefit.

“Just being on Wendy’s property and in the presence of other women and these amazing horses, I was able

Shauna Paynter is a client who has enjoyed working with Bandit as part of a therapy session. to connect with myself in a way that I hadn’t before,” said Soukeroff.

Those with little horse experience need not worry — most of the exercises take place

on the ground, the horses are well-trained, and facilitators are nearby to ensure comfort and security.

When Cherryville residents decide to do something to benefit their community, good things happen.

Recently, members of The Cherryville Water Stewards, the Artisans Association and Farmers Market got together to create a sustainable solution to their bathrooms needs during markets and busy special events, by building a composting toilet.

“I am happy to report this is the kind of thing that makes us different, and I am glad to be part of

such a diverse and vibrant community,” said Helen Kovacs, with the Cherryville Artisans Association and Cherryville Artisans’ Shop.

The toilet was built by volunteers, with all materials donated by local businesses.

“We want to thank everyone who was involved in making this project a reality, including the Regional District of the North Okanagan,” said Kovacs. “(RDNO director) Eugene Foisey was on hand to cut the ribbon and officially open our Eco Toilet.

“There is no electricity

involved and a rain barrel is provided for hand-washing thus educating the public on how to experience a sustainable future.”

With a sawdust composting toilet there is no pit, no leaching of pollutants into the ground and waterways. The humanure is composted using heat, through which harmful pathogens will be destroyed, with the process taking up to a year.

“The result is rich soil for the gardens — this should be treated as a resource not a waste,” said Kovacs.

Equine therapy provides healing Continued from page B1

“Every person who has come here scared leaves having groomed and touched a horse,” Elrick said.

“This is because the horses are gentle and the people are taught to respect their feelings.”

Just Ask Teresa … Your Cosmetician

Do you have a special something in your cupboard that is a magic healer? I DO! It is called Cicalfate. I have heard testimonials from other people that have also used it to heal cold sores, tattoos (with no fading), fissures, cuts, Chicken Pox (prevents scaring also). Cicalfate has Copper, Zinc and Sucralfate, it is antibacterial and heals wounds from the inside out 108 times faster! (That is the calculation used from clinical studies.) This is safe for mucous membrane, anal fissures, perioral dermatitis, infants with diaper rash, children and adults can use Cicalfate (2 formulations). Amazing product!!

Have you heard of the Pure Hazlewood Jewellery for the whole family. Pure Hazelwood is grown and manufactured in Quebec. You may have read about it in the Alive magazine.

You can go online and see the testimonials from parents with infants that have used the necklaces for teething. People use it for joint aches inflammation and arthritis they also claim it is helpful for digestion disorders. We are pleased to carry a selection of bracelets, anklets, necklaces, zinc ointment and moisture lotion.

Talk to you soon!

She added that her six horses love what they do.

They are all getting older, and some have health issues, so they are grateful to have a job instead of the alternative — being put down.

“Without intending to, this program has also become a semi-horse-rescue operation,” said Elrick.

Aside from Healing through Horses, Elrick offers a variety of equine-related services, such as team-building workshops for businesses and oneon-one counselling. She also provides traditional counselling.

Taking steps towards recovery cara brady Morning Star Staff

As Alcoholics Anonymous gets ready for its 41st Annual Roundup, two members share their stories.

Linda, who is new to the program, and Ted, who marks 45 years of sobriety on Monday, talk about how the 12-Step program changed their lives.

LINDA “What I have found is that the transition to retirement has been really challenging,” said Linda, who took early retirement from teaching after an accident.

“Somehow, I was waiting to return to work and I’d feel sorry for myself and sip wine all day. When I look back on it, I can see that I had some of the characteristics of an alcoholic with trouble managing emotions, energy and setting and achieving goals. I also had a history of depression and anorexia. I felt like a victim of circumstance. I always felt like I didn’t fit in.”

She quit school before graduation and traveled and worked.

She went to university and married and had children. She didn’t drink when her children were young but felt fear, anxiety and isolation.

“Sometimes I would drink impulsively.

Sometimes I would not drink at all. After I had quit drinking one time, I was with some friends who were social drinkers and they noticed I wasn’t drinking and asked why. She said she couldn’t imagine stop-

“What I found was like-minded people who understood me for the first time.”

— Linda ping drinking on her own,” she said. “I could see that I thought I had the willpower to overcome this obsession of thinking about alcohol all the time. Then I had an evening of drinking and the next day I called about going to a meeting.

“I was surprised to find out that I had a disease — I had thought I was going to find out how to improve my willpower. What I found was like-minded people who understood me for the first time. I saw that they were calm and they could laugh and enjoy life without alcohol. I saw their humility and courage and strength.

I wanted the treatment for this disease so I could be like them,” said Linda.

“Being in the program has allowed me to take part in life.

With the steps, I don’t ruin today with feeling guilty or resentful about the past, and I don’t ruin today by worrying about the future.

Several months into the program, I felt the obsession to drink lift but I understand that is different for each person.

“I keep coming back to meetings. It’s such a community Life’s way more exciting now I’ve learned to relax and trust.”

TED “I was 28 when I got to AA,” Ted said. “What a gift God has given me

to be sober for 45 years.”

He grew up on a farm in a stable family and was working on threshing crews by the time he was 15. He remembers having his first drink of homemade dandelion wine when he was in high school and wanted to get up the courage to ask a pretty girl to dance.

“I didn’t feel like I fit in but alcohol would almost make it all right.

In those days it was hard to get enough alcohol,” he recalled. “The next time was New Year’s Eve and it was 35 below. I walked into the hall and couldn’t ask for a dance so I had a drink from a bottle of Seagrams 83 we had hidden in the bush. I woke up after the dance and never knew what happened.

I don’t remember my grad. That should have been a warning.”

Ted joined the Royal Canadian Navy where he would trade his cigarettes to get the traditional rum ration from other sailors.

“All hell broke loose ashore. I was a blackout drinker by then. After the Navy, I tried the geographical cure and moved to Alberta to work for an oil company. Through everything, I always felt uneasy, not a part of things. In those days, you could go to work drunk or hung over and we did.”

He met a teacher he liked and they made plans to get married

but she called the wedding off then went on drinking herself. Ted made another friend who would be important to him. Al became his sponsor in AA and helped him through the 12-Step program.

“For the first time in my life I was able to ask a girl out without being drunk. I met a new girlfriend and we’ve been married for 42 years now. With an Al-Anon member in your life, it enhances your life. We found there was a lot of strength in home groups in the early days when the meetings were far apart. We’ve never taken a vacation from AA or Al-Anon,” Ted said.

“I was what you’d call a confused believer. I knew there was a God but I didn’t think he’d do anything for me. I had a self-esteem problem. I had a deep look inside myself and I could see God in things that happened. I always try to help and mentor others. The sponsors are so important. That sponsor saved my life.

I see that AA has two parts, the meetings and the program. You need a balance of both.

“I still remember the first AA dance I went to. As soon as the music started, everyone got up and danced. And they were sober and having a good time.”

Vernon Community music school students gather around the grand piano in the Carriage House Loft after receiving scholarships from the community at the school’s annual recital.

Practise pays off for VCMS students Morning Star Staff

Young music talents studying at the Vernon Community Music School recently received community support at their annual scholarship recital.

Scholarships from local organizations and businesses were handed out to the talented students, who gathered in the school’s Carriage House Loft to showcase their musical skills for an appreciative and intimate audience of family, board members, donors, faculty and judges.

More than $7,000 worth of scholarships were received by the following students (listed under their respective instructor’s name along with scholarship donator in brackets): Violin/viola: Eli Garlick (Bev Martens, Sanssouci Quartet scholarship); Julien

Haynes (Martens, IODE Silver Star Chapter); Mika Garlick (Martens, Capri Insurance); Jacob Bennett (Martens, George Shaw Memorial); Indigo Freeman (Martens, Reekie, Kineshanko, Tulloch Endowment Fund); Madeleine Haynes (Martens, Olive Woodley Memorial); Hana Friedman (Martens, Mori Family); David Li (Imant Raminsh, also piano under Lucy Feldman, Partly Dave’s Neighborhood Garage), and Vincent Li (Raminsh, also piano with Feldman, Carol Odagiri).

Piano: Colleen Venables, (Lucy Feldman, Vernon Community Singers); Rachel Scuka (Feldman, Ernst Schneider); Yanik Fillion-Murphy (Feldman, Caroline Galbraith Memorial); Andrea Lee (Feldman, VCMS Scholarship

Committee); Elohim’s Blessing Cripps (Karen Rempel, We Care Home Health Services); Sean Morgan (Pat Metcalfe, Heartwood Homes) and Hannah Bennison (Metcalfe, Alpha Epsilon Master).

Cello: Emma Schmidt (Morna Howie, Nixon Wenger LLP) and Anastasia Martens (Howie, Dr. Laidlaw Scholarship).

Flute: Laurel Salé Hook and Alex Dlouhy (Margaret Burton, Linda Bricker).

Guitar Tristyn Waechter (Tom Stinson, Peter and Pauline Legg Memorial) and Griffin Victor (Stinson, MQN Architects).

Voice: Megan van den Maagdenberg (Kim van Wensem, Drs. Lora and Mathias Fellenz).

Ensemble: Triple Scoop Trio (cello, violin, piano, Kal Tire).

The clay is being thrown, shaped, fired and, in some cases, glazed for the Okanagan Potters Association’s Spring Sale and One-of-a-Kind Show as well as the Pride of Potters gathering, both taking place in June.

This year’s show and sale is happening in a new location, next door to that conundrum of arts and crafts pursuits that is Creative Chaos, June 7 and 8.

“Our show will take place in the air-conditioned and relaxed atmosphere of the foyer in the Vernon Performing Arts Centre, said Laurel Fredin, with the potters association. “Collectors and new buyers will appreciate the quality pieces in this two-day show featuring some of the top potters and artisans in the Okanagan.”

Guest artist this year is Kelowna potter Steven Smalley, who will be showing his sculptural clay pieces at the show.

An honours graduate from the Alberta College of Art in Calgary, where he majored in sculpture, Smalley used clay to model the human figure.

However, it wasn’t until seven years later that he took pottery classes in Vancouver and fell in love with the medium for ceramics.

In Kelowna for 22 years working at a day job as a finishing carpenter, Smalley works with clay every opportunity he can get. He often takes small pieces of discarded construction debris home from his job to be part of his clay work, and hopes in future to combine wood with clay.

“It seems natural to bring the two materials together, but I’m still tinkering with the idea,” said Smalley.

Lumby Days weaves red carpet for ‘Fibrenation’ Morning Star Staff

Texture, colour and a fine thread count are all part of the Fibrenation: a World of Wearable Art at Lumby Days June 7 to 8.

The fibre-textile show is part of the Monashee Arts Council Artisan show and sale to be held the White Valley Community Centre, which will be the go-to spot for anyone interested in art, said Jennifer Greenwood, arts and culture program coordinator with the council.

The weekend starts with

a bang on Friday at 7 p.m. with the Fibrenation fashion show, co-ordinated by Louise Smith, of Lady Weaving in the Woods.

“Admission, which is by donation, will give fashionistas a chance to see wearable art from all over the North Okanagan,” said Greenwood.

“The audience will also get an early bird opportunity to buy items after the fashion show.

On Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., White Valley hall will be brimming with art displays,

hands-on demonstrations and workshops in fibre arts.

Visitors will be able to watch artisans at work and try their hand for a small cost at quilting, knitting, felting, pine needle basket making, spinning, or leather work.

“Pine needle basket weaver Irene Johnson and felting instructor Barb Articus will be offering longer workshops on Sunday if there is sufficient interest,” said Greenwood.

In addition to the fibre artists, painters in oils and watercolours will also pro-

vide ongoing demonstrations.

Admission to the hall is free.

There will be vendors’ displays as well as demonstrations.

A monumental wood sculpture, designed and built by Lumby’s Mark Baycroft, who developed his woodworking skill in the log building industry, will be the centerpiece for the show.

For more information on the Fibrenation events at Lumby Days or the Monashee Arts Council, contact 778473-3029 or email monasheeartscouncil@gmail.com

Say hey to clay at show and gathering Continued from B5 As a designer and builder, Smalley worked as a carpenter in Vancouver and also built concrete rock formations for the Prehistoric Park at the Calgary Zoo. At the Toronto Metro Zoo, he constructed animal exhibits, turning the facade of the jaguar enclosure into a Mayan temple.

Most of Smalley’s clay sculptures take on a vase-like shape and are directly influenced by his study of the human figure. Reference is made to the human torso; even the vase terminology — the

foot, the body, waist, neck and lip.

“The big attraction with clay for me is its plasticity — that’s the quality of clay that allows it to be stretched, pinched and take imprints,” he said.

Smalley’s sculptures are an assemblage of many smaller slabs of clay, which he textures by either pressing objects into the clay or rolling clay over textured surfaces such as tires, the backs of floor tiles or the bricks on his house. He doesn’t use glazes often, saying he prefers the look of natural clay. “(I) find that glazes create reflections on the textured surfaces making the surface look busy and confusing,” said Smalley.

fter the loss of her mother, Mary Katherine or M.K. (voiced by Amanda Seyfried) is sent to live with her eccentric scientist father, Professor Bomba (Jason Sudeikis).

The professor has spent his entire professional life attempting to prove the existence of a tiny woodland society.

When woodland Queen Tara (Beyonce Knowles) accidentally shrinks M.K. down to their size, she finds herself swept up in an adventure to save a Taylor and Howe world, without even knowing if she can get back to her own.

Epic 3D is a film adapted from William Joyce’s book The Leaf Men. We say, “It’s a little fuzzy, but completely safe for all ages.”

TAYLOR: Last Christmas we had Rise of the Guardians. Now we have Epic. They are very different films in many ways.

Guardians was dark, sharp, hard and cold, scary even (for wee ones.)

Epic is soft and fuzzy, golden sunshine, green grass.

Over the years, William Joyce has helped create some classic animated characters in films like Toy Story. He produced Robots and a couple of TV shows.

He’s written award winning children’s books and now two movies. Yet despite him having classic mythical legends or creatures of his own design, I find his stories dull. Fine for kids, no bad messages, but Zzzzz...

HOWE: I agree and disagree with you. Rise of the Guardians was one of the best animated story lines I have seen in a long time. As for Epic, I was nearly nodding off after 15 minutes or so. We saw the trailer for this early last year so I was

It was so slow, the voices didn’t seem to suit the characters. It felt like he pinched stories from all over the place and just threw them together: Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, you get the idea. But let’s ask someone a little younger what they thought.

FENIN: I liked the slug and the snail.

They were very funny.

HOWE: That’s it?

FENIN: Yep. TAYLOR: I noticed there was a lot of fidgeting and talking in the theatre.

Perhaps even the little folk were bored, at least in parts. It’s not that Epic is a bad movie, it’s just that the characters, locations and situations aren’t enough to pull the audience in, make them care. When you add the phoney 3D aspect of the forest, you’re left with one

After a while it starts to make my brain hurt. I didn’t enjoy the look of this film at all.

HOWE: Don’t let the title fool you, it’s not epic. We had a choice of three movies last week and I chose this one because I thought my little boy would enjoy it.

I wish I had taken him swimming or done something different now, I think he would have enjoyed it more.

Capsule Comments with

IAN JOHNSTONE

When you burn your skin, the damage continues to occur until you can cool down the area of the burn.

Best advice is to immerse the burned area in cold water (no ice) for at least 15 minutes. You’ll find this reduces the pain as well.

People looking for an alternative to DEET as an insect repellent might look for products containing icaridin. It is effective against mosquitoes, black flies and ticks and is available as a pump spray, aerosol spray and towelettes.

It is safe for adults and children over the age of 6 months. Examples of brands containing this include Deep Woods and Avon.

Looking for a good source of calcium in food. Try sardines. Two ounces of this little fish provides 240mg of calcium because you are eating the fine bones of the fish. Sardines also contain significant amounts of vitamins D and B-12 and omega-3 fatty acids.

Expiry dates on medication have a little leeway.

They don’t lose all their potency on the day of expiration. But there’s one medication you want to be sure is ‘in date’ and that is your EpiPen. The EpiPen is kept on hand by people with very serious allergies and can save lives. If you have an EpiPen, check the date. If it’s close to expiration, get a new one.

If you have any questions about the EpiPen or other medications used to treat allergies, talk to our pharmacists. We’d be happy to share our knowledge.

Sound poet hammers out Forge Morning Star Staff

A local author has forged ahead with his latest book of poetry.

Kevin McPherson Eckhoff, Okanagan College English professor and resident of Spallumcheen, has just had his third book, Forge, published by an independent press based out of Halifax.

“It’s actually their very first poetry title,” said McPherson Eckhoff. “They have a short but strong history of producing razzle-dazzle novels and stories and non-fiction.”

Described as sound, or conceptual poetry, the 96-page book contains themes of childhood, syndicated televised capitalism, and mourning.

“It’s like the most serious book I’ve written so far, almost,” said McPherson Eckhoff.

Known for his open mic/blog, G’Morning Poetry, with coconspirator and fellow OC English professor Jake Kennedy, McPherson Eckhoff says Forge amasses seven years worth of writing, Half of the work previously appeared in chapbook form: The poem Document One appeared in Martian Press in 2006, Sweden’s ungovernable press published Channeling Voices online in 2008, while Game Show Reversed appeared in BookThug in

Okanagan College English professor Kevin McPherson Eckhoff unleashes words in his third book of poetry.

2010.

“And the last one is exactly what it sounds like: an episode of Wheel of Fortune transcribed backwardsly, sentence-by-sentence. Yep, that’s poetry these days,” said McPherson Eckhoff.

While no local launch of the book has been planned so far, those interested in getting a copy of Forge can do so by contacting the publisher directly at www.invisiblepublishing. com, or at Amazon or Chapters.

Legend plays free concert at Sun Peaks KAMLOOPS — Concert goers will have the chance to get up close to one of the most celebrated rock artists in Canadian music history this summer.

Burton Cummings is giving a free outdoor concert at Sun Peaks Resort in Kamloops July 13, where guests can relive the era of epic rock music, including classic hits of The Guess Who together with songs from Cummings’ solo career.

“Cummings’ live performances are legendary and we are looking forward reminiscing on a great time in Canadian music while giving the younger genera-

tions a chance to experience it all live,” said Christopher Nicolson, president of Tourism Sun Peaks.

General access to the concert is free – no ticket required - and guests are welcome to view the performance in the natural alpine amphitheater on the Sunbeam ski run. For prime viewing closest to the stage, a limited number of front stage access tickets are available for $50 each, or at a discounted rate when combined with an overnight stay.

Contact www.SunPeaksResort.com/ BurtonCummings or call 1-800-8073257 for more info.

Marlin merges with Visions Morning Star Staff

Two of Vernon’s top travel agencies have merged under one roof.

Marlin Travel has acquired Visions Travel and is welcoming the latter’s staff into the fold, making it one of the largest operations in the Okanagan.

“It’s a merger between the two,” said Vicky Skolrood, who is partners with Morley and Alison Miller at Marlin.

“It’s the collective union of two strong offices. It will put us over the top in being one of the largest in the entire Okanagan.”

Lois McNiven, the owner of Visions, along with her four staff members, will join Marlin’s eightperson office on 30th Avenue.

Skolrood, a partner since 2004, said they have revamped the work space to accommodate the boost in numbers. Among the renovations are a new floor plan, flooring, bathroom and updated office equipment.

“We’re lucky that we have such a large office and that we own our office,” said Skolrood, adding it was also necessary to some purge unused equipment.

Skolrood noted the transaction was a positive experience for both agencies, and with the former Visions office just three blocks away, she expects it won’t be a difficult transition for clientele. The Visions staff are even keeping their old phone numbers.

With increased manpower, Skolrood said Marlin is able to offer better customer service and a wider range of travel options, which is something clients are coming to expect more and more.

“Customer service wins,” she said. “There’s power in numbers in numerous things, but especially for our customers.

“It’s evolving and we’re seeing people who want to go back to the personal connection and to deal locally.”

CAs make the grade Morning Star Staff

A pair of Vernon post-secondary students have earned their chartered accountant credentials.

Janna Cummings, of Romei Plummer, and Sheila Westwell, of BDO Canada, picked up their certificates at a ceremony in Vancouver. They are now eligible for membership in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of B.C. “These students have earned their CA designation by successfully completing a rigorous and competitive academic program, focused on business and accounting competencies,” said Richard Rees, CEO of the institute.

To qualify as a CA, students must have a university degree or equivalent, 30 months of practical work experience and complete courses through the CA qualification program. They must also pass a comprehensive national final exam.

Henk blok (right), owner of Vernon’s Gemini Gas Springs, and his son, maurice, are producing gas springs using quality components in the shop on Pleasant Valley road.

Gemini springs onto market Graeme Corbett Business Editor

People rely on gas springs in their everyday lives, but seldom realize their importance.

From holding up a hatchback door while you collect your groceries from the back of the car to adjusting the seating level on an office chair, gas springs have a wide array of applications in many fields.

They are most commonly seen in the automotive, health care, public transport, airline and furniture manufacturing industries. Most are mass produced (using various qualities of components) by manufacturing giants in China, Turkey and Korea.

But for the last three years, Vernon’s Henk Blok has been holding his own as a small player with his company, Gemini Gas Springs.

Located on Pleasant Valley Road (near Mike Rosman RV), Blok, his son, Maurice, and wife, Frieda, have been producing custom springs for a growing clientele that stretches across Canada and

international markets.

While unable to compete with the bulk buying power of the big boys, Gemini instead offers faster turnaround times, a greater ability to customize smaller orders and a more consistent and higher quality product by using high-grade components.

“The average lead time from China is at least three to four weeks,” said Blok, who moved with his family from Holland three years ago.

“And in order to get a better price you have to order them in bulk. I’m not in the high-volume market. Other guys are good at that. I try to build springs of a high quality so they will last twice as long.”

Blok, who has been in the industry for 10 years, manufactures the gas springs onsite using precision German machinery. Springs use compressed gas (nitrogen), contained in a cylinder and compressed by a piston, to exert a force.

To add dampening to a spring, various oils can be added to depending on the required application.

“We can manipulate that with different

viscosities of oil,” said Blok. “The thicker the oil, the slower the dampening will go. We can also adjust the length of the dampening. It’s all based on what the client wants.”

Gemini also produces temperatureresistant springs capable of withstanding hard Canadian winters (down to –45 C).

After working for years for other people, Blok decided to branch out on his own when he came to Canada. Despite being in a different market, he still sees the same questions, challenges and customer demands popping up.

Thankfully for Block, physics is also the same overseas. However, he jokes that he is fighting an uphill battle in converting some of his North American clients over to the metric system.

“You have to learn about math and gravity, and you have to have some technical background to understand exactly how it works,” said Blok.

“You don’t learn this from trade school.

You learn this from practice from working for a company.”

Good investing habits: Be proactive – Do not react to negative market events. Ensure your portfolio is balanced to withstand market volatility.

Have a goal – Have a financial plan that will meet your needs and goals.

Prioritize – Attend to the most important things first, not the urgent things. Urgency comes from neglect.

ally pass and even out.

• Pain from loss is greater than pleasure derived from gain. It is impossible to eliminate loss; even renowned investors experience it.

We must manage the source of such loss and adjust our portfolios on a pro-active basis rather than on a reactive one.

• Maintain a wellbalanced investment approach. Invest with the mind-set that in the long-term, well balanced portfolios

requires honest and open discussion.

Synergize – Ensure your portfolio is not overlapping, but that its components are working together to ensure financial success. Simplify your holdings and place them with one trusted and proven institution.

Review, review, review – Meet with your advisor on a regular basis to ensure both are working together to achieve your financial success.

hen markets are uncertain, it is easy to forget that the equities in your portfolio are comprised of companies that produce basic products that are integral to our activities of daily living: toothpaste, soap, shampoo and gas.

Regardless of market performance, we purchase and use these products on a regular basis. The success of a portfolio is not necessarily reliant upon bigticket items such as the products of Apple or BlackBerry.

At some point in the history of each index, there have been periods of negative returns. Such periods do not mean that the market was permanently negative, only that it was part of a dip. It is important to note that our reaction to such negative returns may do us a disservice.

A trio of pelicans stand guard as a visitor takes their photo on Kangaroo Island, which is located southwest of Adelaide, Australia.

Land of the dead thrives chRiS mcbeath Special To The Morning Star

AUSTRALIA - Why the indigenous people called this island Karta, or Land of the Dead, remains a mystery because Kangaroo Island, located southwest of Adelaide, is one of Australia’s hottest destinations for scenic and wildlife encounters.

Measuring only 155-by-55 kilometres, more than one third of the island is dedicated to conservation. You’ll see kangaroos and Tammer wallabies, koala bears and possoms, fur seals lolling about on amazing beaches, and prickly, longsnouted echidas scurrying beneath ginormous rock formations, not to mention more congregations of magpies than there

Lois uelo

were blackbirds in Tom Thumb’s pie. My favourites, however, are the fairy penguins whose cliffside ‘condos’ are built into rocky nooks and crannies.

It’s with a pinch of Ozzie sass, though, that Kangaroo Island is billed as Australia’s Galapagos because nestled beside the “bushland authentica” lie picturesque townships, farms, vineyards and homesteads that serve the island’s 4,500 permanent residents as well as some 190,000 visitors a year.

Travelling here takes a little planning since the island has no public transit or official taxi system, and few car agencies allow their vehicles to leave the mainland. Your best bet is to book a tour with Sealink Travel, the same folks who run

the ferry service, or fly here and hook up with an on-island guide. See-it-yourself cyclists, campers and hikers are welcome, but a local guide really makes the difference between a good experience and a terrific one.

For all of the landscapes, three star attractions are the island’s raison d’etre: Roos Rule True to its namesake, mobs of western gray kangaroos abound through tall grasses, across plains of meadow, and in between yaccas the size of small cottages.

Unlike much of Australia, where farmers regard them as a nuisance to crops, here kangaroos are welcome to thrive.

Seal Bay on Kangaroo Island is the only location in Australia where visitors can walk amongst a colony of sea lions.

Roos and koalas abound Continued from previous page

Their survival as a species, however, is more attributable to a kangaroo’s unique ability to control their procreation through times of severe climatic conditions such as drought.

When resources are plentiful, a female usually mothers three offspring at any given time: one in the pouch, a joey by her side and a developing embryo which may, as the environment dictates, be either ‘held’ for up to 12 months or aborted all together. Even the males have been biologically wired for survival because until there has been enough rain to produce a large quantity of green vegetation, they will not even produce sperm.

Charismatic Koalas For many wildlife spotters, the elusive koalas are king. Once hunted to near extinction, and still a vulnerable population on the mainland, Kangaroo Island is a protected koala eden. Indeed,

Still more seals haul themselves up the slippery granite slopes near Admiral’s Arch where the pull-back of crashing waves make every flippered step a struggle. Often it’s only by luck that a seal gets tossed onto an inhospitable craggy ledge, out of reach of the water’s treacherous drag.

For these sights alone, Kangaroo Island really is one for the bucket list.

Dorothy Jones

Dorothy Jones was born in Yorkshire England on June 10, 1929. She graduated from Newbold College, Bracknell, England 1953 with a Bachelors Degree.

Shortly after graduation she married a young upcoming evangelist and pastor, George Emm. During the next decade they traveled extensively throughout England and Wales conducting evangelistic meetings for the Seventh Day Adventist Church. During the summer months, summer camps and youth ministry were their focus. With their two young daughters they eventually settled in Toronto and Oshawa, Ontario. Youth evangelism became their primary interest and life work. Both Dorothy and George attended and participated in youth camps every summer for the next 30 years. Dorothy’s skill as Craft Director for these camps in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia was legendary.

Even after retirement she continued to enjoy this position and eagerly looked forward to the summer months. She is remembered fondly by many campers throughout the years. Finally settling in Coldstream, Dorothy spent the last 20 years traveling on the weekends to various churches with George to keep his preaching appointments. They spent their winter months in Desert Hot Springs, CA with longtime friends and other graduates of Newbold College. After George’s death, she moved into Assisted Living at Heritage Square with early Alzheimer’s Disease. Even then she assisted others more disabled then herself whenever she could.

As the disease advanced she moved downstairs to complex care. She passed away Thursday morning, May 30th, at Heritage Square and is now resting in the arms of Jesus.

We would like to thank the staff, care aides, admin, nurses, and housekeeping of Heritage Square for their stellar and dedicated care of our mother, as well as her physician, Dr. Elizabeth Jolly.

Dorothy is survived by her two daughters, Beverly Gayan and Sharon MacLeod, and her grandchildren, Teresa and Andrew Gayan.

Funeral service to be held at the Vernon Seventh Day Adventist Church, 1802-45 Ave, at 1pm Wed, June 5th. Internment to follow at the Coldstream Cemetary. Arrangements by Bethel Funeral Chapel.

LOUIS WESLEY CROAKER 1928-2013

The unspoken bond of a families love changed today, as our husband, father, grandpa, great grandpa, brother, and friend, made this way to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;THE CABINâ&#x20AC;? today after a lengthy battle and a hard fight to get there.

He is at peace and hopefully approving the new outhouse and the other changes since his last visit.

He leaves his loving wife of 55 years and very best friend Arlene Croaker, his children Lloyd (Sandi) Croaker, Steven (Sharon) Croaker, Shannon (Len) Verwey, his granddaughters Randee (Les) Wenninger and Amanda (Kniven) Cadden.

Three great grandsons Paxton, Isaiah and Finnigan and a great grandchild yet to arrive soon.

Two step granddaughters, Leah and Kristen and one step great granddaughter Abigale, and one step great grandchild also to arrive soon.

Louis was pre deceased by his parents and all his siblings except for one sister DeEtta Smith.

Louis was born in 1928 in Matsqui B.C. where he continued to live until he entered the workforce, working various jobs before settling in the Northern Interior, where he met married his best friend Arlene and together they raised their three children.

Retiring to the Armstrong area, he soon realized he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit still. A hobby farm was the answer, taking the veggies to the various farmers markets became a passion for him. When time permitted he would spend it at â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cabinâ&#x20AC;? building and constructing with his best friend, family and friends. Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for nature was always apparent from the welfare of the wildlife to simply enjoying the outdoors. With the memories of laughter and a legacy of stories, Lou (Wes) will be always be remembered and missed by all and never far from the hearts of his family.

A special Thank You, to the staff at Parkview Place, for their care and attention to Louis. Special Hugs, to Ursula, Loree, and Dr. Annan.

Cremation and no service by request.
